Germanwings crash pilot researched deadly drugs

The co-pilot who crashed Germanwings Flight 9525 researched how to get hold of deadly drugs and the possibility of a living will, it has been claimed.

Dusseldorf prosecutor Christoph Kumpa confirmed a report in German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung that Andreas Lubitz searched the internet in March for ways of getting hold of potassium cyanide, valium and lethal combinations of medicines.

He also searched for the term “living will” on March 23, the day before the crash. A living will spells out a patient’s wishes for medical care if he is unable to communicate with doctors.
